Sometimes, safety and danger can be the same person.

Gideon Orchard has enough baggage to fill a cargo ship. Two years ago, he left his abusive family, but the urges he's always tried to suppress won't be ignored any longer. Desperate to submit, he stumbles into a notorious fetish club...and right into the lap of its captivating manager.

Mal Brannon can't believe his luck when sweet, scared, and determined Gideon falls into his arms, completely uneducated in BDSM culture and begging for proper instruction. Their romance intensifies more quickly than either of them expects, but an unsavory figure from Mal's past threatens their relationship and their lives.

Running from the past may be tough, but escaping with their future will be harder.
